defo a cat m8....Ive got a lvl 70 hunter atm, got 3 pets now, but before lvl 70 i used a cat all the time...They are more like DPS pets and if you're BM theyre just amazin...If ur thinking of becoming a PVP player then i suggest cats again, because at lvl 30 they can learn Prowl and Dash.

And for lvl 10...If your horde i think Durotar Tiger (found south east of Durotar) and Moonstalker if youre ally (found around Teldrassil, Night elf starting place

At your level I would basically just grab the closest Boar you can find. You are probably going to be going through a few pets as you go along. Ultimately most hunters wind up with a cat, bird, or ravager at the high levels. I went something like Boar >> Wolf >> Cat >> Bear >> Turtle >> Cat >> Cat. It is a bit situational. At your level the Boar with its Charge ability is going to help keep aggro off of you a little better than a Cat. When you get in your 20s you'll have the option for some of nicer looking Cats in the game including a Ghost Saber. So you might want to pick up your first Cat then.

Ultimately my favorite is the Cat for a final pet.

On wowhead.

Any pet works until level 80... use what you like.

Is this primarily for questing, PVP, or running dungeons?

Questing, I'd suggest a crocodile or a bear. Since most levelling is questing, this is what I would do.

PVP = crab or spider.

Dungeons = cat or wolf.

And don't forget---when you run a dungeon, disable your pet's casting for Growl and Thunderstomp.

at low level i would say Boar and at level 40 get the white nightsaber from stv :D

Sigh, you should go with either a bear or a croc. At low levels you are going to be plowing through lots of enemies and both of those have skills that help keep threat on multiple enemies. I think croc is the best at low levels.

Note that most of these posts are pre-Wrath.

Wolf makes the best DPS pet at 80 (non-exotic) but a Nerf is possibly imminent. Post nerf it's likely any Ferocity pets and maybe even some Cunning pets will do equally well.

Bear's special attack is best to pick up several mobs; croc is good for picking up stuff that comes after you.

Basically though it comes down to use whatever you like best asyou level.

I leveled with a wolf and would do it the same again if I had to. Can't say it was better than other options cause I didn't compare. I do have a bear that I tak eout now and then just for kicks and I love the way they look but they don't come close to the damage output of my wolf. I have had little issue with aggro with my wolf either...just takes a little extra effort and an aggro meter so you can watch and back off if needed.

All pets have the same base stats now, so at level 10 (when pets have no talent points to spend), they are all pretty much the same.

The only differences would be in their look, their special abilities, and their potential growth as you level.

I've found that based on their unique special ability, that moths can make a very good starting pet since they can self-heal with Serinity Dust.

This is particularly helpful since you won't learn Mend Pet until level 12.

If I were to do it all over again I would use the following:

1-32 Cat or Wolf - Ferocity pet - You want a load of dps output from your pet at these levels, the more the better

32-44 Gorilla - 32 is the lowest gorilla you can tame in STV. They have a great AoE silence ability that should help keep aggro well before Thunderstomp

44-63 Any Tenacity pet would do, keep Gorilla or I would switch to a Bear - After 44 if when your tenacity pets can learn Thunderstomp. Shouldn't have aggro issues after this.

63-80 Warp Stalker - I like the warp stalker because they have a free charge ability. Takes no energy and frees up a talent point you can save in their tree. Non exotic so when you switch specs for 5 mans you can still use em.

This is strictly to level up as quickly as possible, so no baring on animal looks, preference, exotic pets, rarity, etc.
